vent.

oven vent

Fig. 1

Removing, replacing or arranging racks

Always use pot holders or oven mitts

when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior

and exterior, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

DO NOT line the oven walls, racks,

bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor

baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will melt to the interior of the oven.

Types of oven racks

The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven rack (some models) may be used for most cooking

needs. The half rack (some models) design comes with a removable section that allows for taller cooking utensils.

REMOVE ALL OVEN RACKS and parts before starting a self-clean cycle. If the oven racks are left in the oven during the self-clean cycle, the glide ability of the gliding racks will be damaged and will cause all oven racks to loose their shiny finish and or turn blue. Remove all oven racks and clean according to instructions provided in the Care & Cleaning section of this manual.

Recommended oven rack positions by food type: Food type Position

Broiling See broil Cookies, cakes, pies, biscuits & muffins 3 or 4 Frozen pies, angel food cake, yeast, bread

and casseroles 2 or 3 Small cuts of meat or poultry 1 or 2

Turkey, roast or ham 1 or 2

Air circulation in the oven

For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate around the cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food (See Fig. 3 ).

Fig. 3

Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks

For best results when baking cakes or cookies using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 and 5. For best results when baking cakes or cookies using a single oven rack, place cookware on rack in positions 3 or 4 (See Fig. 2).

Before Setting Surface Controls

Using proper cookware

DO NOT place flammable items such as

plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the range cooktop.

Important note:

DO NOT place aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may

damage the cooktop.

For best cooking results, cookware should have flat bottoms that rest level on the surface burner grate.

Before using cookware, check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (Fig. 1).

The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the burner flame setting needed for best cooking results.

Fig. 1

Cookware material types

The most popular materials available are: Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of

food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting).

Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking

results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining. Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat

very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.

Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material.

Glass - Slow heat conductor.

Setting proper burner flame size

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the cooking utensil. A higher flame

wastes energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame.

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

Correct flame setting

Incorrect flame setting

For most cooking; start on the highest setting and then

turn to a lower setting to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking (Fig. 2)

For deep fat frying; use a thermometer and adjust the surface knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be under cooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown or cook properly.

Flame size* Type of cooking

High flame Start most foods; bring water to a

boil; pan broiling.

Medium flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken

sauces, gravies; steaming.

Low flame Keep foods cooking; poach;

stewing.

Fig. 2

*These settings are based for medium-weight metal or aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using cookware made from different materials.

Setting Surface Controls

Setting surface burners

Do not place flammable items such as

Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY

material that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may permanently damage the cooktop surface.

Your gas appliance may be equipped with different sized surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared.

The smaller simmer burner (on some models) is best suited for simmering delicate sauces, etc.

The standard size burners may be used for most surface cooking needs. Some models are equipped with a center burner.

The larger power burners (on some models) or Ultra Power burner (on some models) are recommended for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.

To set surface burners:

1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Be sure the cooking utensil sets stable on the burner grate.

2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Fig. 1).

3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE position. Visually check that the burner has lit.

4. Once the burner has a flame, push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. Use the control knob markings and adjust the flame as needed.

Important notes:

 DO NOT cook with the surface control knob left in

the LITE position. The electronic ignitor will continue to

spark if the control knob setting remains in the LITE position .

 When setting any surface control knob to the LITE

position, all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.

 NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2

different surface cooking areas at the same time.

This can cause uneven heating results.

 In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface

burners can be lit manually. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface control knob to LITE. After burner lights push in and turn knob to desired setting.

Care and seasoning of the Griddle Grate

(some models)

Before first use:

1. Wash the griddle grate in hot soapy water. Rinse and

then dry completely.

2. Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire surface (front and back of griddle grate).

3. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the griddle grate on the upper rack in your oven.

4. Bake griddle grate for 1 hour at 350°F, then turn oven OFF and let cool before removing.

5. The surface may seem tacky from the seasoning process. If desired, wash the griddle in hot soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely.

Using the griddle:

1. Remove the center burner grate and carefully replace with the griddle (some models).

2. Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on Medium to Medium Low setting. Slow preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process. DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on Hi may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution.

After each use:

DO NOT CLEAN GRIDDLE IN DISHWASHER.

1. Clean with a stiff brush and hot water only.

2. Dry Immediately and apply a light coating of vegetable oil to griddle before storing.

3. To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep uncovered.

Home canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.

 Use only quality flat bottom canners when home

canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.  Use only a completely flat bottom canner.  Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed

1 inch beyond the burner.  Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more

quickly.  Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the

water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to

lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.

Convect Bake

Benefits of the convection bake feature

 Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time

and energy.  Multiple rack baking.  No special pans or bakeware needed. Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's

heat uniformly and continuously around the oven (See Fig. 1). This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two oven racks at the same time.

Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly.

Most foods baked in a standard will cook faster and more evenly with the convection feature.

Convect Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 300°F (149°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Suggestions for Convect Bake:

 For optimum cooking results it is recommended to

preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies,

biscuits and breads.  Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipes

recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder

of the recipes instructions using the minimum

recommended cook time.  When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in

positions 2 and 4 for best results (See Fig. 1).

Example  To set Convect Bake with a default oven set temperature of 350°F:

1. Press Convect Bake keypad.

2. Press START. To cancel Convect Bake at anytime press OFF.

Convect Roast (some models)

The Convect Roast function combines a cook cycle with the convection fan to roast meats and poultry. Meats cooked with Convect Roast function will be juicer and poultry will be crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.

Convect Roast may be set for any oven temperature between 300°F (149°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Suggestions for Convect Roast:

 Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using

Convect Roast.

 Since Convect Roast cooks food faster, reduce the

cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe (check the food at this time). If necessary, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.

 Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will prevent

the meat from browning properly.

Example  To set Convect Roast with a default oven set temperature of 350°F:

1. Press Convect Roast keypad.

2. Press START. To cancel Convect Roast at anytime press OFF.

Important notes:

 The Convection fan will take 6 minutes to begin rotating

after the Convection function has been activated. This is normal.

 If the oven door is opened when any convection

function is active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven door is closed.

 When using convection bake cook time reductions may

vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.

 Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny

Setting Warming Drawer Control

(some models)

Warming Drawer

The purpose of the warming drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperatures. Examples are vegetables, gravies, meats, casseroles, biscuits, rolls and pastries. It is not recommended to heat cold food in the warming drawer; always start with hot food.

The warming drawer may also be used to warm dinner plates. All food placed in the warming drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality.

Important note:

Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean up. Use only utensils and cookware recommended by the manufacturer for use in the keep warm drawer.

Arranging warming drawer rack positions

The keep warming drawer rack may be used in 2 ways:  In the upright position (See Fig. 1) to allow low profile

food items to be placed both under and on top of the rack (for example, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole dish underneath).

 In the downward position (See Fig. 2) to allow for light

weight food items and empty cookware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.

Storage in or on applianceflammable

materials should not be stored in an oven, warming drawer, near surface units. This includes paper, plastic

and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range.

DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE 

children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where appliance is in use. They should never be

allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance, including the warming drawer.

Always use potholders or oven mitts when

removing food from the warming drawer as cookware and plates will be hot and you can be burned.

Warming drawer recommended settings

The recommended warming drawer food settings is provided in Fig. 3. Remember the settings provided are meant to be used as recommendations only. If a particular food is not listed, start with the Med (medium) setting. If more crispness is desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food.

Most foods can be maintained at serving temperatures on the Med setting. When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for example, a meat with 2 vegetables and rolls) use the Hi (high) setting. To minimize heat loss, avoid opening the warming drawer frequently while in use.
